Synopsis

The Midwest Hydrogen Hub is poised to drive significant decarbonization across key industries, including steel and glass production, power generation, refining, heavy-duty transportation, and sustainable aviation fuel. By targeting these sectors, the hub aims to cut carbon emissions by approximately 3.9 million metric tons annually. Additionally, the project will foster a worker education exchange, invest $15 million in training and employment services, and support partners in negotiating workforce and community agreements. What benefits should Midwestern states anticipate as this initiative unfolds?

 

  • How can the Midwest leverage its industrial strengths for hydrogen production?
  • Project leads combat key challenges to engage Midwestern communities in hydrogen projects?
  • How can the MachH2 hub collaborate with other regional initiatives? And what initiatives for collaboration are already in place?
  • What role does agriculture play in the Midwest hydrogen economy?
  • How can the MachH2 hub contribute to the national hydrogen strategy?
